Nested describes
Nested describes are useful when you want to describe similar behavior between specs. Suppose we want the following two new acceptance criteria:
- Given an investment, when its stock share price valorizes, it should have a positive return on investment (ROI)
- Given an investment, when its stock share price valorizes, it should be a good investment
Both these criteria share the same behavior when the investment's stock share price valorizes.
To translate this into Jasmine, you can nest a call to the describe
function inside the existing one in the InvestmentSpec.js
file (I removed the rest of the code for the purpose of demonstration; it is still there):
describe("Investment", function() describe("when its stock share price valorizes", function() { }); });
It should behave just like the outer one, so you can add specs (it
) and use the setup and teardown functions (beforeEach
, afterEach
).
